It’s National Auntie’s Day! Like, how lit is that?

Melanie Notkin introduced the holiday in 2009 to honor the special relationships between aunts and their nieces and nephews. The holiday is observed in July. The 15th Annual Auntie’s Day is being celebrated Sunday, July 28, 2024 

On Auntie’s day, we pay homage to the women who are aunties by blood or by choice—ya mama’s bestie, ya mama’s cousin, that neighbor who babysat you when your mom had to work late. If you have an older woman in your life that doesn’t play about you, this is the time to show her how much she means to you.If you are that auntie, celebrate yourself, Sis. 

Here are 5 gift ideas for your auntie (or yourself) for her special day.

 

A Spa Day


Treat your auntie (or yourself ) to a relaxing massage, body scrub or a facial.

DMV Aunties can visit ParisAlexander Day Spa where they offer a variety  services including Swedish massages, hot stone massages, facials and  microdermabrasion.
